One of the banks of that river is hate.

The other is love.

Or you can say that one bank is happiness and the other unhappiness.

The log is this mind.

As it flows down the river, it will experience happiness and unhappiness.

You should see that there is nothing other than happiness and unhappiness arising and disappearing.

If you don't run aground on these things, then you are on the path of a true meditator.

This is the teaching of the Buddha.

Happiness, unhappiness, love and hate are simply established in nature according to the constant law of nature.

The wise person doesn't follow or encourage them.

They don't cling to them.

It is the right practice.

Virtue or Sila is the beautiful beginning of the path to liberation.

Thanks for watching!

Samadhi is capable of bringing much harm or benefit to the meditator.

You cannot say it brings only one or the other.

For one who has no wisdom, it is harmful.

But for one who has wisdom, it can bring a real benefit.

It can lead them to insight.

That which can be most harmful to the meditator is absorption samadhi, jhana.
